Take me back to September 1, 2010

Let's take a stroll down memory lane.

The date is September 1, 2010, and it's a Wednesday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Virgo. It is "Hump Day", so many are beginning to think about the weekend ahead.

Schools and colleges are starting again, and fall has officially arrived. As a result, temperatures are beginning to cool, and trees are starting to shed their leaves. Labor Day weekend is a few days away, which means that many Americans are planning barbecues and other social gatherings. In America, the song "Love The Way You Lie" by Eminem ft Rihanna is at the top of the singles charts, while "Dynamite" by Taio Cruz is the number-one song in the UK.

Barack Obama is the President of the United States, and the movie Takers is at the top of the box office. David Cameron is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. On television, people are watching popular shows such as "Keeping Up with the Kardashians", "The Vampire Diaries", "Spartacus", and "Sherlock".

Video rental stores such as Blockbuster are continuing to close their doors at the moment. Sadly, it seems as though they will be unable to compete with online streaming services such as Netflix and Hulu. It's 2010, so the music charts are being dominated by artists such as Kesha, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Eminem and Bruno Mars. Rescuers in Chile are working around the clock to save 33 men who have become trapped following a cave-in at a gold and copper mine near the city of Copiapó. The ongoing effort to rescue the miners is receiving international media attention.

The news aggregation website Digg has enraged its users with the release of a new redesign called "Digg V4". This unpopular redesign has caused disgruntled users to leave the website for its competitor, Reddit. Socialite Paris Hilton is in the news after being arrested in Las Vegas for possession of cocaine. In soccer, Liverpool midfielder Javier Mascherano has joined Spanish side Barcelona.

If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Giant Gonzalez, Denise Borino-Quinn, Leslie Nielsen, and Pete Postlethwaite would all still be alive. People are playing video games such as "Mafia Wars", "Farmville", "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2", and "Mass Effect 2". Children and teenagers are watching television shows such as "Go, Diego, Go!", "Curious George", "Wizards of Waverly Place", and "Sonny with a Chance".

Children are playing with toys such as Roboraptor, Clipo Creativity Table, Bakugan Battle Brawlers balls, and ZhuZhu Pets.
